[PATCH 09/24] macintosh: fix dangling pointers

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Fix I2C-drivers which missed setting clientdata to NULL before freeing the
structure it points to. Also fix drivers which do this _after_ the structure
was freed already.
